Very wet ink, lovely, unique purple.

This ink was a free gift from Goulet when I ordered a Monteverde Ritma pen. I like the pen; I can't say I love the ink. Not for writing. If I were an artist, I'd probably enjoy it a lot more. I gave it to an artist friend, and he was pleased to get it. I inked up my new Ritma, which has a stub nib, wrote a few lines, and almost had a seizure from purple-plum overload. I'd probably like it much better in one of my fine nib pens, but I use those for serious work, so they're filled in shades of blue-black, green, grey and red (I grade papers; comments in red are as serious as a stroke). I have no use for purple. But it is a very pretty shade, a little wet for my taste. For me, definitely an ink for drawing, not for writing. Definitely not at my serious and mature age! By the way, I can't submit my review without scoring the ink on water resistance, but I didn't test that, so my rating on that is entirely meaningless.

The color is rich and lush.

While I personally would not use this shade for writing I do use it for drawing.

BIG container. Have only tried it in one of my pens thus far, but absolutely gorgeous color! What more is there to say!

Fantastic. Beautiful shading.

I was away from the fountain pen world for some time, and ordered this purple ink to fill up my new Jinhao 933 Shark, it came on the package of 3 samples and a notebook with the purple set color. What I can tell is this color is very vibrant and the ink is wet, run good on the feed, it started flowing perfectly on my extra fine nib as soon as I closed the pen. That overcame my expectations, in comparison with other inks I've been trying along the way.

Excellent - these are by far the best pens, and the best ink, I have ever experienced

I am really enjoying it. I use it everyday in my work and have in a couple of pens and it seems to work really well.

It was a joy to use

I received this ink with a Conklin Endura, and I was very happy that I chose this color. It falls between a pastel pink and magenta, and while it's not a 'serious' color, the ink flows well and works beautifully on many types of paper (Leuchtturm 120, Moleskine, Clairefontaine).

Lovely. Nice pen and easy to use. I love the magnetic close on the pen. Gives a lovely secure lock when closing the pen.

It's a very smooth writer. It's very bright so it will stand out in the light. Good through the nibs of all brands. Very satisfied. Avocado also outstanding. Thanks!

I thought Private Reserve Plum would be limited to special occasions only. But Somehow I found myself picking up my Plum filled pen even though it's not my favorite corner of the color spectrum. It's a rich nicely saturated color which behaved well overall. There was some bleed through on medium quality paper.

Poor ink. Did not flow well. Clogged up the nib. Color not vibrant

It was very easy to order from the website and the products were great. I love the personal touches in the packaging.

I do love this color, but I wouldn't call it plum. Personally I think of plum as a darker purple color. This is a vibrant fuchsia color, and as I said, I do love it.

The Ink is not my preferred colour of choice, but it is very nice. It has a vibrant colour, flows well and seems to work for EF to 1.1 snub nibs.

Excellent though I would possible gone with something in a more burgundy tone.

Very rich color. Enjoyable to use.

Very pretty color!But not for use in flex nibs because it will feather even on a Rodia ivory pad. Probably best for fine nibs.Running water over it for several seconds doesn't wash it away and it bleeds very slowly after soaking the paper. This was after letting it dry for only a couple of minutes, I expect it would be better after some days.

I'm usually not a fan of pink or purple inks, but this one is actually pretty amazing! It's smooth, vibrant, rich, and goes pretty well with my hot pink Diplomat Magnum! (I've also used other PR inks and haven't run into one that makes me mad... Say... By feathering on a paper where that probably shouldn't be a thing!). I recommend!

I'm glad I had the opportunity to try this brand! It's perfect in my new Conklin Mark Twain. I'll be buying more Private Reserve in black and blue. Love it

so far my experience has been adequate, like the shade of purple it applies. worked well for my pens. Have used it only in dip pens for some simple things. Nothing to see what limits it has yet.

Plum is a hard to describe ink. A saturated and well-behaved ink, the color isn't pink, but isn't a rose or purple, either. It's something unto its own, and I like that. It definitely stands out, even in my F nibs. So I use it for for things that beg for more attention, but not for full-page writing.

I haven't used the ink yet. The Monteverde pen I ordered writes well and is beautiful.

The colors and the quality are the same as when it was under the old owners.
